RESTORATIVE JUSTICE & RADICALISATION: FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE

His presentation titled “Restorative Justice & Radicalisation: From theory to practice” will bridge the gap between Eastern and Western civilisations. The paper identifies the forces that create a perception of insecurity and a reality of control, while proposing an alternative vision that is bottom-up, user-led and founded upon the values of restorative justice.

The paper uses the newly Erasmus+ funded Youth Empowerment and Innovation Project (YEIP) as an example that illustrates a youth-led methodology for evidence-based EU security and social cohesion policy that is more aligned with the realities of the groups its aims to reach. The aim of YEIP is to construct a policy measure that will help enhance social cohesion and prevent violent radicalisation of young people in Europe.

Dr Gavrielides will be discussing the state of Europe today and the realities of security. He will be talking about the role of Restorative justice in unraveling terrorism, radicalisation and extremism while understand who the real victims up. In his presentation Dr Gavrielides will exposes the need to educate, challenge and debate in order to move forward and exercise restorative justice to tackle the global issues that we face.
